Ok, Internet, I know we’ve been doing a poor job stay­ing in touch with each other lately and I don’t really feel like point­ing fin­gers, so let’s put that behind us. After all, right now, I have some­thing impor­tant that I want to talk about: Voltron. In my ran­dom being up late, eat­ing a snack and watch­ing some tele­vi­sion, I hap­pened to par­take in a rerun of Voltron on Adult Swim. This rerun led me to a cou­ple of real­iza­tions, which I would like to share with you. Realization 1: the Power Rangers were the biggest ripoff of Voltron any­one could have pos­si­bly per­pe­trated; seri­ously, Power Rangers would have been more aptly titled Voltron: The Live Action Series. Realization 2: Voltron was a ter­ri­ble show; don’t get me wrong, The Transformers was only 90% as glo­ri­ous rewatch­ing it in my 20s as it was before I was 10 but Voltron, rewatched in my 20s, is ter­ri­ble. Internet, if you have fond mem­o­ries of Voltron, please, take my advice don’t ever watch it again; let your fond mem­o­ries remain unclouded for the prod­uct itself will fail to deliver.
